VOCABULARY

BTS:Who are they and how did they become so successful?

Who are BTS?

BTS are a K-pop (or Korean pop) group made up of seven members - Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook - who come from all over South Korea.

They launched in 2013 and have since rocketed to global stardom.

Over the years, the group have produced material around various themes starting with the 'School' trilogy.

They are the K-pop band slowly taking over the music world and now BTS has racked up another record.

The South Korean boy band celebrated being at number one for the 57th week in a row on Billboard's Social 50 chart in the United States.

This is a big deal because it means BTS has overtaken the previous record holder, Justin Bieber.

The Billboard Social 50 is a popularity chart which ranks the most active musical artists on the world's leading social networking services.

                https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/45210831

It's based on an artist's weekly addition of friends, fans and followers (depending on the network), artist page views and weekly song plays.

With BTS expected to drop a new album, Love Yourself: Answer, on 24 August and a world tour planned for later this year, the band's popularity is expected to keep growing and growing.

The LEGO story

As The LEGO Group celebrates its 80th Birthday, we take a look back at its history with this short animated film.

Lego (/ˈlɛɡoʊ/ LEG-oh, Danish: [ˈle̝ːko];^[1][2] stylised as LEGO) is a line of plastic construction toys that are manufactured by The Lego Group, a privately held company based in Billund, Denmark. The company's flagship product, Lego, consists of colourful interlocking plastic bricks accompanying an array of gears, figurines called minifigures, and various other parts. Lego pieces can be assembled and connected in many ways to construct objects, including vehicles, buildings, and working robots. Anything constructed can be taken apart again, and the pieces reused to make new things.^[3][4]

The Lego Group began manufacturing the interlocking toy bricks in 1949. Movies, games, competitions, and six Legoland amusement parks have been developed under the brand. As of July 2015, 600 billion Lego parts had been produced.^{[5](WIKIPEDIA)}

^{Have you ever played with Lego bricks?}Do you enjoy playing with them?What makes playing with Legos so special?What would you advice to someone who has never played with Lego bricks?

^{DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE LEGOLANDS ALL OVER THE WORLD?}

^{LEGOLAND OR DISNEYLAND ? Which one do you prefer visiting and why?}

Graffiti

Graffiti is marks, scratchings or drawings made on a surface on a public place. It is often created with paint or spray paint (paint that is sprayed from a can). A single mark could be called a graffito but the word graffiti is usually used, meaning that there is more than 1 mark. Graffiti has been found in very old cities. For example, in the Roman Empire, people wrote messages and drew caricatures on walls. Find out more in https://kids.kiddle.co/Graffiti
